Studies oj Nature • NOT COMMON I * About a week ago, some of the fanatical denomination of Shakers palled shro' this place. Governed by the whims of imagina tion, one of them (t preacher too) supposed, it appears that the “ God of order” dircßcd him to walk along the ftrect, NAKED ! Accordingly, at one end of the, tbtvn he striped hirafelf entire, and with his cloths over otic arm, his bat in the other hand, he led his horfo all the way, doWn main ftrect; crying ia he; went along, ** fToe, woe, to the inhabitants of this place for the judg. meats of Cad are hovering over them.” As soon as he got to the woods, he again put no his cloaifis, when he was overtaken and brought back, before a magnate. After fame detention, (in which he gloried, as f.iffirlflg pirftcutioh like the apostles of old) he was allowed to go his way. In juftifleation of his strange conduft, he cited the example of the prophet Jfaiah ; (20. 2. 3.) and yet he was continually repeating, « Old things are passed away ; all thing# are become neflr.'*—But no doilbt, his flexi ble and fertile imagination can reconcile any contradiction, » Ken, Informer, ANACHREON MOORE'S POEMS.

The raafs of domestic matter which ap. pears in this Jays paper, renders it itnpoffible to detail foreign intelligence; however, the rcader.will collet from what is given, that the affairs of Europe arc dill in a con fufed and unsettled date, and great doubts entertained whether a definitive peace be tween France and England will fooo take place ~-fomc of the English prints speak flatteringly Q f the profptcl of a fpCedy * n d amicable adjaftment of our affairs with Great Bmain ; but Mr. Foxc’s ill date of health is likely to retard the negotiations.—Lats accounts state that Miranda had made godd his landing in South America—-The French Squadron with Jerome Bonaparte on b&rd, has lately arrived in Hampton roads.

Mr. Printer, 1 WHEN fallacious reports arc circulating against the minority of the last extra ftflion of the Legiflaturc ; and when that body arc much villified, it is a duty incumbent on me, as a good citi/en, to place things in a proper light, by just and honeff representations. Ssnfible however, lam, that a boundless loose to spleen, (envious in itfelf) will add lie to lie, and be prevalent and predomi nant at the prefer.t day. I was a daily vifttor to both branches of the Legiflaturc, and observed the conduft of our (members. I took notice of a bill to be entitled “ An ad to difpofc of and dis tribute the late celffon of lands obtained from the Creek Nation, by the United States; iri a treaty concluded at the City of Wafliingroh, bn tKe fourteenth day of No vember, one thousand eight handred and five," and heard the arguments for and a. gainft—Jackson was not Client— l retired to my rest, and in a profound deep I dreamed that *vr had dtfeharged our just debts—l thanked my Gad—but alas! it was but vilionary—all a phantorfl. Georgians attend ! fiutkites particularly, of which I ani one The State owes a large debt, between two and three millions of dollars , which mujl be paid. Is it pofli ble that you can be gulled by faying that the fa|cs of the Fractional Surveys will pay them?*By noirfcans; and even admitting the fame to be adequate to that dcfirable purpose, we (hauld (till be like a poor abject wretch, wlio worked all day for nis fupportj and spent it at night. I will here only call for the attention of his Excellency’s raeffage relative to vC’hat might be donei, Burkites ! WHat has Jackson dobc, but that as an honest, upright, Patriotic States man ? A man (not a mufhroon, but one of tenyears (landing) whom you have tried, weighed in the fcalcs and found not wanting. Where is the wretch who dare to fay er even infer that Jackson mattifeftid a difpo fftion in that House, to (ell our lands ? Men may fay a little, and infer a great deal, and thereby lead the ignorant to believe a mem ber has infringed on his rights: that this has bean the case since the last fitting of the legiflaturc I wiii not pretend to fay, but really I fear it has. Burkites ! I can allure you that Jackson’s wilh was to pay our debt#; he wi(hed the land drawn for, but to come on such terms to the fortunate drapers, agreeably to the quality, as would be a revenue; and not an expense; ; L There is a great noise made about the dollars due us by the United States t true, we have that amount due us; but mark ye ; when, where, or in what manner is that debt to be paid to us ? Per haps the President may load a pared of wag. gons bye and bye, and fend it cn ; but 1 am not inclined to think so. It appears more rational to me, that the policy of the U. States will be, to keep the money in their ihx'n hands, for the ufc of this State, to defray her quota ofexpemes, in case wc (hould be amerced in.wtfr.’ Your debt is enormous, and a great part, if not all, oh intcrefl. Knave# will perhaps in. form you that the (late cannot be sued : be. lieve them if you pleafc, but my Ek tor it you’ll be doubly taxed, and your children and mine pay for the balance. w • A CAUTION to SLANDEROUS MEN!
